Our featured book this month is Stringing Style by Jamie Hogsett
Stringing Style by Jamie Hogsett is an older book on my shelf (published in 2005), but some books never go out of style. I have the pleasure of working with Jamie Hogsett on a daily basis. She is the epitome of style and grace. It is no wonder that her first book was a knock out sensation. Some of my favorite projects feature parts and pieces from a number of companies including but not limited to: Green Girl Studios, Zoa Art, David Christenson, Dakota Stones, Harold Williams Cooney, Michael Barley, Paula Radke, Pudgy Beads, Tierra Cast, etc. I could go on an on for days. With so many great beads and Jamie's unlimited talent, this book should be on all jewelry designer's book shelves.
From the back, "We've collected 40 of the most gorgeous ideas from Beadwork magazine's special Stringing issues and put them at your finger-tips in Stringing Style: 50+ Fresh Bead Designs for Jewelry. And for good measure, we've added 10 never-before-seen stringing projects by the talented Beadwork magazine team. Take a peek inside."
